The New York Jets aren't exactly a team I would drop a few hundred on to see play in person. They're just a not a real good team. But if they do this next thing that I'm about to tell you, I'll never get within 1000 miles of the Meadowlands, ever.

The Jets are apparently open to drag queens joining their cheerleading squad.

No, that last sentence is regrettably not a typo. A WNYC radio reporter was talking with the Jets cheerleading squad, Denise Garvey, and that's when the door was opened to drag queens.

GARVEY: We don't have any strict requirements - no weight or height requirements - we have all different girls on the team and all different girls looking to try out..."

REPORTER: There's not the kind of human variety you might find in a supermarket checkout line - the largest body is about a size "6" -and there are no male cheerleader wannabe's.

GARVEY: we haven't had any men apply... we are looking for young women.

REPORTER: If there was a mind blowing drag queen?"

GARVEY: I guess everyone deserves a fair chance - so that would be my attitude.

All kidding aside, I actually think it's impressive that the Jets cheerleading squad would actually consider allowing drag queens on the team. I just shudder at the thought of what a bunch of drunk Jets fans would do once they find out that the cheerleader they've been ogling at for half the season has an extra package they didn't know about.

That, my friends, is a recipe for disaster. But at least it'll momentarily direct the fans' rage off the players on the field. Chad Pennington approves.
